Would all Iranians agree with you? I understand that the project is a matter of national accomplishment and sanctions are irresponsible and unnecessary. But the costs at the moment are quite high, aren't they?
A nuance on this matter: Iran has no "right" to enrichment. However, it is certainly NOT forbidden to do so if it complies with the NPT. Iran is also not breaching the NPT protocol, but 'just' the IAEA guidelines.
Indeed Travis. It is clear that decisionmaking on this matter is fueled by the primacy of irrationality and domestic political considerations. In both Iran (having an outsider to blame), Israel (ibid., and strategic concerns), and the US (elections), something has been set in motion which is in no-one's rational interest.
I agree. Even if Iran were to attempt the manufacture of a bomb, they would have to kick the IAEA out which would show others their intentions.

Nearly all states engage in direct or indirect terrorist actions. The US, Israel, and Iran are no different in this regard.
